The Toyota Highlander is one of the top-selling three-row midsize family SUVs in the US with nearly 170,000 units sold last year.
For much of the past decade, the Highlander was one of the few vehicles in its segment available as a hybrid. Despite the arrival of new offerings like the Mazda CX-90 PHEV and the Kia EV9 in recent years, the Highlander Hybrid remains a highly capable competitor.
I recently reviewed an all-wheel-drive 2024 Toyota Highlander Hybrid in a fully loaded Platinum trim with an as-tested price of $55,478. I was impressed by its efficient hybrid powertrain, its well-designed cabin, and its stellar build quality.
The base front-wheel-drive Highlander LE starts at $39,120, while the FWD Highlander Hybrid LE starts at $40,720.
The top-of-the-line Highlander Platinum trim with all-wheel-drive starts at $53,375.
Here’s a closer look at some of the Highlander Hybrid’s most interesting features, which help make it one of the most popular family SUVs.
